They were discontinued by 2006, before eventually returning in 2009 as “Butterfinger Mini Bites”. [Fade in on Bart sitting under a tree with a packet of Butterfinger BB’s.
In 1992, Butterfinger rocked every kid’s sweet tooth with the introduction of Butterfinger BB’s, which were basically entire Butterfinger bars shrunk down into little ball format. The low melting point of the chocolate meant that each time you’d reach into the bag your hands would come out covered in chocolate, but no one seemed to care.
Over the years, Butterfinger and The Simpsons have parted ways, only to unite once again. When the brand initially broke its ties with Bart Simpson, the show’s writers took aim at the candy with an episode in which Marge tries to completely rid Springfield of sugar (via NPR ).
There don’t seem to be any old news reports of people in the late 1980s flipping out over a change to the Butterfinger recipe. So either Nestle did such a bang-up job mimicking the original taste of the candy bar, or they merely kept the change under wraps and nobody raised an eyebrow.
